"Are you serious?" Becca asked smiling down at her jacket even more. "So what's next? We have the new uniform. We have our VS System and Strikers, what do we do now?" She asked looking from the other two rangers and back to the commander, Dr. Manx, and Kida.

"I agree with Becca. What's next?" Nero stated as he wanted to go run to his quarters and change into his spd uniform as soon as possible.

"Now? I'd suggest resting, but I know that all three of you are too wired now to do that," Kida said. "Meet me downstairs in the cafeteria in ten minutes. We'll have a little party. I just....need to talk to my daughter first." She turned and saluted Commander Tate, turning on her heel and walking out of Command.
Commander Tate smiled and nodded. "Kida's right. Have your fun tonight, Rangers, because tomorrow....the real training starts," he said. "Dismissed."
"I'll meet you three in the training simulator at nine AM sharp to go over how the VS System and the Strikers work, get you guys morphing for the first time. Good night, Rangers," Dr. Manx said with a smile.

Kestra tapped her tablet and brought up schematics of SPD. "Dr. Manx's lab is on the seventeenth floor," she said. "Right here." She tapped the screen, highlighting the lab. "We'll split at the door, you two setting the charges. I'll head up starting with the stairs until I hit the eighth floor, and I know some side routes to get to seventeen. When you two set the charges, you'll split here--" She tapped a door, the map zooming in. "That'll split in the hallway, taking you each down separate routes until you hit the service elevator, used for laundry and trash, things like that. Once you're on seventeen, we'll meet up outside of the Lab and I can hack us in."
She looked at GQ. "As for the Commander, he stays up in Command, up here," she said, tapping another spot on the map and highlighting the Command. "He lives off site, and he'll leave somewhere in the next two hours. We won't have to worry about him."
"Splendid." GQ agreed, absorbing the intel Kestra provided with keen interest. "With the information, we now have a chance to break in without causing a hitch. It won't be long until we begin." _________
"Aye sir!" Knute saluted to Kida, then to Commander Tate and Dr. Manx, before he took his leave. Once he's out of the room, he looked at Becca and Nero. "Crazy that it happens like this. Us becoming SPD Rangers. I'm actually giddy."

Nero clicked his heels and saluted his commanding officers. He then joined up with his fellow officers and heard Knute's comment. "I'm excited. I truly am. I just hope that Kida talks to Kiara. It would be a shame if she found out and it wasn't from her. I hope things go over easy with the conversation." Nero stated.

"Good." Darius nodded. "So it shouldn't be long now." He added, furthering GQ's point. "That means we need to make sure our gear is ready. The plan is great and all but we can't stroll up into SPD with half ass equipment." He finished with a chuckle, believing that good gear is nearly as important as knowing what needs to be done during an operation. When it was time to make a show, he couldn't risk having eyes on him with subpar clothing.

Kestra nodded, closing her tablet and tucking it into her pocket. "I'll meet you guys down here when it's time," she said, heading for her room. She walekd upstairs and shut the door, sighing as she leaned against it. "Fuck...I hope we're going to be fine..." She tossed her tablet down, getting onto the floor and dragging a bag out, yanking it open and revealing a code scanner. "Hey, little guy. Time to play."

"Got it. Thank you." Becca said giving a salute and heading out with her team. Listening to the others, she sighed and smiled softly gripping the jacket tighter. "I'm beyond shocked and grateful honestly." She said looking to the others. "I didn't think this was ever going to actually happen..." She started but broke off. "I think once I put the uniform on it won't be as shocking to me.. maybe then it'll be more real." She said said smiling over to the others. "Should we go get changed?" She asked holding the jacket up.

"Great minds think alike. I had the same idea once I got back to my quarters. Also needed to do a video call to the home world. Give some info to my parents." Nero stated as he patted his bag.

GQ nodded, taking his book with him as he went to his room across from the living room. As he closed the door, he put the book to the shelf before grabbing his gear from under his bed in order to be prepared for the upcoming heist. ______
Nero clicked his heels and saluted his commanding officers. He then joined up with his fellow officers and heard Knute's comment. "I'm excited. I truly am. I just hope that Kida talks to Kiara.

"Yeah," Knute agreed to Nero. When he looked at Becca, he simply shrugged, "Well, Captain Frost says to meet up with her at the cafeteria in ten minutes. So we'll probably have to dress quickly within the timeframe. Might as well do it."

"I'll miss you while you're gone!" Darius spoke in a playful manner, shifting back into being more jovial. The resident showoff laid on the couch and kicked his feet up, taking time to close his eyes and gather his thoughts for the job ahead.

Kida walked into the house, sighing softly. "Kia?" she asked, looking around. "Kiara?"
Kiara walked in from the kitchen, her arms crossed. "What? Here to take something else away from me?" she asked. "Like the Ranger powers? You know I've always--"
"Stop," Kida said, walking over to her daughter, putting her hands on her eldest's cheeks. "I know you're mad at me. And I know this is frustrating. Part of this is my fault. I taught you growing up that being a Ranger was something to admire and strive for, and I let it go to your head. When you dressed up as Uncle David for Halloween as a kid, I knew that you saying you wanted to be REd Ranger was a dream taht you were never going to let go of, and I should have done my best to stop that from becoming your only drive."
"What are you talking about?" Kiara asked, stepping away from her mother, going back into the kitchen.
Kida sighed softly, biting her lip. "There's a reason you didn't get a SirenStriker, honey," she said. She sighed, knowing it was better to rip the bandage off rather then pussyfoot around hte issue. She told Kiara what she'd explained to the Commander and the other three cadets, and she watched her daughter's face as she spoke. "That's why you didn't get a Ranger position, honey. I'm sorry that I had to cut you from the running, but...you have a habit of rushing headlong into problems without thinking. If you did that when being a Ranger, you could get seriously hurt or killed, or someone else could. PLease, understand--"
"I understand," Kiara said, looking at her mother as her lip quivered. "All I ever wanted was to be like you and Kaa-ni. A Ranger or a Rider, or fuck...even both. But you don't think I'm ready. Fine. I don't like, but I have to accept it. Just...have the balls to tell me before I walk into a room thinking I'm going to be leading my friends only to be shit on." She walked past Kida, grabbing her jacket.
"Kiara. Answer me honestly for two questions. Are you mad at me?"
"What the fuck do you think!? I walked into that meeting with Sky thinking that I was going to get something I have dreamt of my entire life! And then the rug's ripped out from under me and I have to put on a happy face while thinking "What did I screw up?" So waht the hell do you think?!" Kiara snapped.
Kida sighed softly and nodded. "Second question....are you happy for them? Even though you didn't get a VS System or a Sirenstriker?"
Kiara scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Of course I'm happy for them. They're my friends, Kaa-san. Of course I'm happy for them. I Just hate that I don't get to be there with them," she said. "Not out there fighting and keeping the city safe....stuck in the Delta Base with my thumb up my ass because I've been denied." She pulled her jacket on, sighing softly. "I wouldn't expect you to understand. You got chosen twice."
Kida nodded softly. "That's fair," she said softly. "Umm....you can decline if you want, but...we're all getting together downstairs...if you want to be there."
"Think about it," Kiara said, walking out and shutting the door behind her.
Kida sank down onto the couch and pressed her hands to her eyes. "Fuck." _________________________
Kestra heard Darius from downstairs, rolling her eyes. Changing into a black outfit, the young woman grabbed her bag and walked downstairs. Dropping her bag on the end of the couch, she pulled out an illusion disk from her pocket, reaching under her shirt and clipping it to the strap of her bra. "Remember to clip this on before wet leave," she said, tossing another one of the disks onto Darius' chest. "Somewhere it won't be seen but still works."
She double checked her bag, making sure she had what she needed. "What're you bringing for this? Other then a smile that could brighten a blind man's vision?"

"Got it." Darius stuck the item in his pocket, making a mental note to place it in the collar of his shirt once he changed into something that smelled more like thievery.
"What I'm bringing? Not much. Just my trusty bag of goodies." Darius reached for his backpack and opened it in front of Kestra, revealing his normal tools, ranging from a grappling gun to a code jammer for locked security doors and a blaster he used in case things got messy but he normally kept that on stun so that he wouldn't kill anyone.

Once GQ adjusted his waist bag against his chest, he stepped out from his room and saw Darius showing his equipment to Kestra. He blinked at his own waist bag for a moment before deciding to return to his usual seat, drumming his bag lightly to pass the time.

Nero left the others to run to his quarters and get changed into his red ranger uniform. He also made spare time to call home to his planet and surprise his family and friend as they were all ecstatic and congratulatory for him achieving his goals. Once the call ended, he straightened his suit, strapped his VS System and Sirenstriker to his uniform and headed out to the cafeteria.
